Glass Drinking Horn
Langobardic (?)
Made 575-625, possibly in northern or central Italy

Accession # 91.1.1407

While contemporaneous Frankish glass vessels tend to be in natural colors of light green or brown, Langobardic glassware makes use of vivid colors, often combed, as here, to create complicated patterns.
